How a used car dealer buys at auction | The AI Car Dealership Project | Episode 5

Great episode as usual

Wake up people…Baggot’s back with another installment.

Like the music

I massively disagree with Auto Trader pricing I would manually check to see whether Car for that age and mileage would be pricewise. Auto Trader shouldn’t be allowed to dictate the market by giving indicators of high and low prices because each vehicle is differently, depending on condition and mileage

Great video, really enjoying following your journey 👍🏻

thanks for video

Good of Jamie to accommodate you. Great episode.

A belter of an episode 👌

Straight away in the first few minutes of watching this video I have an issue. "Autotrader will tell me what I can sell it for" Autotrader dealer portal is a useful tool to help you do your job in terms of pricing. However, there are so many different factors when deciding a price. How many are on the market, market turn, desirability, spec, optional extras, colour. There is also your own experience and knowledge of the market. Especially your local one. No one should solely use Autotrader to dictate a price of a vehicle. Use it wisely!

Surely that X5’s rear suspension ( if broken ) would of been on the mechanical report? One of the drivers could have been playing with the hydraulics.
I agree about the “online only auction house“ comment you made. I worked for them when they stopped physical auctions during lockdown 1.
I do believe that sale they did in Nottingham was a flop. My friend still works for them as a transport class 2 driver. I asked if they are going back to physical sales, his reply was not looking promising, he’s the one that said it was a flop they hardly sold a thing

Done a screen on a Citroen like that before, was plug n play. Not so bad to do!

Great video, nice that Jamie has his own workshop to run them through, hence the willingness to take a perceived punt on someone them. Great video, keeping it real with the content, yet polished presentation!

A £3000 margin on a car from the auction?? In my experience anything worth having at the auction goes way over guide price...

Autotrader guide price is always slightly lower then what traders have the car on for on the site

why would anyone sell a car for less than its worth ? the only reason is because it has a problem ! all car dealers need to make a profit, car auctions allow them to trade in rubbish cars that they can shift off the lot. traders that buy from auctions and make £3,000 profit are just crooks, they dont care about the cars or the customers just money

Where is this particular search feature in Autotrader where you can compare both the retail & the trade prices?
